Please Vote and let me know that way what do you guys think?

TSW · 19 August 2011, 04:45 AM

Yes and yes!
Pepsi look is my absolute favorite.

Runnin' Rebel · 19 August 2011, 04:46 AM

In a heart beat, even though I did coke. Pepsi is next

dddrees · 19 August 2011, 04:53 AM

Pepsi is my favorite.

Puffy · 19 August 2011, 04:54 AM

Pepsi all the way

mike · 19 August 2011, 05:38 AM

Well,...I said not sure for want of a better answer. Personally I think both look smashing....aw, I think any GMT looks smashing.

mrloneranger · 19 August 2011, 07:07 AM

Anders, I like how you think.

mrloneranger · 19 August 2011, 07:23 AM

ah ok, Pepsi then.

I think the coloured bezel really makes the GMT stand out from the subs etc.

rolio · 19 August 2011, 07:42 AM

Did the Coke insert for four years. Now I'm going to the Pepsi for a couple; besides, Pepsi is not as heavy as Coke

In two, I may go to the black. (However, they say, "once you go black, you never go back. So, I'm a little nervous.) The only color I don't have is rootbeer.

Namaste

Submarino · 19 August 2011, 08:05 AM

Thanks for everyone's input. Now help me source one as I can't find a decent reliable original faded Pepsi bezel. If you have any ideas PM me.

kyle L · 19 August 2011, 08:06 AM

Don't worry, it'll look good.

nauticajoe · 19 August 2011, 09:35 AM

Sure. That's the fun part with aluminum bezel inserts - you can always change it when you get tired of it.

Well, for me, the black/red insert was only used on the GMT II; never on the GMT Master, so for tradition I would never try it ..

Also, the black/red insert will only fit a sapphire model and all 1675's are plexi so it would have to be an aftermarket insert..

I'm still learning about the history of GMT's, in fact I've just found this interesting as well (it's no doubt been seen on here before, a few times

)

bluemartinifan · 19 August 2011, 10:37 AM

I have a Pepsi on now - great summer look and matches blue, red white clothes. I wore a black insert a few years ago - more business like, serious, winter look - great with black, grey, white colors.

So do you have the extra Pepsi bezel???

If you do I'll buy it from you.

dricig · 20 August 2011, 04:01 AM

If you also own a Sub or SD then the Pepsi sets them apart.
If not, the black bezel is pretty classy looking especially on a jubilee.
Since the process is easily reversible, get both and change when the mood strikes you.
That's the beauty of the GMT's!

As for an original faded pepsi bezel, there are plenty (too many) around for sale, but who knows if they are original or not!

JohnEaton · 20 August 2011, 04:09 AM

Don't have a 1675

I wish

But I interchange a COKE PEPSI AND BLACK bezel and also a jubilee with the oyster on my 16710

It's like having 6 GMTs

Anyway I say GO FOR IT!!!!

Dan Pierce · 20 August 2011, 04:14 AM

Options!!!!! Yes, try the pepsi. You can always go back. One of the best parts of owning a GMT.

I do have a SD so that's one of the main reasons why I thought that it would be great to have the Pepsi insert on the GMT. Plus it's such an iconic watch with the blue and red.

Thanks for chiming in.

landroverking · 20 August 2011, 07:24 AM

I use to change back 'n forth until I got a SD. Now pepsi all the way.

Perdu · 20 August 2011, 11:14 AM

I love the Pepsi bezel but I'm not keen on it faded but the black looks superb when faded.

buke45 · 20 August 2011, 11:47 AM

Yes Yes Yes!!!

Linzjnr · 20 August 2011, 11:51 AM

Definetly Pepsi!

AJMarcus · 20 August 2011, 08:12 PM

Pepsi. Don't care though for the faded look. I wanna see the red and blue shimmering in the light!
